[MPlayer-users] -identify with tar.gz's etc...

[Chris Phillips]

Hi, 

Can someone shed some light on why mplayer successfully opens and parses 
tarballs and similar files?

ID_FILENAME=/home/chris/jittr-1.4b.tar.gz

ID_VIDEO_BITRATE=0

ID_VIDEO_HEIGHT=576
ID_VIDEO_FPS=25.000
ID_VIDEO_ASPECT=0.0000

and even more confusing... how does it somehow get video dimensions for 
it? i'd assume they are defaults but still...

thanks

Chris
